How much beer do you drink daily?

[JoeyChopps]

Yea thats about what I do as well. 48 kegs.:rockin:

Glad there someone else like me

Up until about 5 years ago, it was 1-2/night, few more on weekends. Then I decided to start rigorous daily exercise, lose weight, get my labs under control, all to stave off old age. So now I'm down to about 1-2/night, but only on weekends.

 

[kingfish242]

probably 1 or 2 at night during the week, then on Friday and Saturday 4++

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

Saying that.... I do obviously have to taste check the beer at work before packaging etc, check it's not infected or sulfury etc.

is that what ya call it?! kinda like when i'm coming up with a recipe drinking beer after beer of that style is research?! :rocking:

How many of you heavy drinkers have had blood-work done recently? Any issues with cholesterol / triglycerides?

What would you consider heavy drinking?

i have elevated liver enzymes and a gigantic beer belly thats about it

exactly! i drink ~6 a night usually, it's dependent on ABV and what i'm doing that evening, but it's not a rare occasion that i go 8+. i'm 34, have been drinking beer like this for quite awhile, and i've never had any alcohol related health problems. i have a belly, fer sher, but the only time i've had elevated liver enzymes, dehydration was partially to blame. the times i've had blood work, nothing out of the ordinary, cholesterol's a tad high, but considering genetic history, it's lower than i'd expect at my age.

Yea thats about what I do as well. 48 kegs.:rockin:

you, sir, are my kinda beer drinker!!

having a developed pipeline of homebrew has only increased the quality of what i drink, the quantity may have actually dropped off a tad since i started brewing. but who knows, it's harder to keep track of long term when you don't buy as much beer by the measured oz. either way, i don't think a 6 pack a night is a lot of beer for an avg guy to drink. over an ~8 hour evening, that's hardly enough to put someone over the legal limit.

usually get sleepy first, if nothing else.

ain't that the sad truth. Two Fridays ago I told the wife to head to bed w/o me cause I felt like staying up late & drinkin' hard. I fell asleep at 10:30 after 3 deuces

"What a drag it is getting old...."

You are about to be savaged from the one a day, two on weekend crowd. This thread is more about how little I drink a day.

guess my 2-3 6packs a night will not get good reviews either? :cross:

I am not on a beer brewing board to be a teetotaler.

Did you see my post? I agree with you though, it seems everyone here is filling out a CUA rather than being honest.

Okay fine, I brew tons of beer weekly, but I haven't had a beer in 15 years. I do this as a service to my neighborhood and give it all away.

Then I donate my free time to the local homeless shelter as well as making a haute cuisine meal each night with road kill.

Then after I save the kittens in the park, I go home school my kids, and give my SWMBO a massage with special oil. I start the next day with breakfast in bed for all and hit the ground running.

totally!!!

it's like when the cop asks, 'how much have you had to drink tonight, sir?'
'um, one or two light beers with dinner, *hiccup*, officer.'

i don't know whether to call BS or to start thinking of myself as a heavy drinker..............

f it, i'll just have another beer.

yah, yooou betcha! it is pretty much like water up here... i mean with the low freezing point of beer and all, we pretty much have no choice but to hydrate with a cold one. can't get water out of the tap half the year, gotta go medieval and find a safe source of fluids.

You definitely qualify for this thread

I was thinking the same thing, then i figured these guys are brewing hundreds of gallons a year. they can't give it all away

 

[Gravedigger]

Usually none during the week but 1/2 a case to a case on the weekend. I guess that makes me a binge drinker but I'm ok with that

wait what? this is a home brewing site? oh man, i'm in the wrong place. i thought it was a forum for guys who liked to drink beer.

 

[onthekeg]

I wonder what everyone drinks at night that prefers not to drink beer? Apparently there are a large number of them.
I'm guessing the majority is doing P90X, drinking water and protein shakes though. If you do, more power to ya!

Look both ways when you cross the street tomorrow. I don't want anyone killed by an errant driver.

there was actually a thread the other day about making a beer with that cr@p, 'cuz it's healthy'. i think the OP wanted to make a chocolate milk stout with Muscle Milk or some $h!t.

i threw up a little in my mouth when i read that.

I am sure there was. They probably were going to make a batch to last them and their friends for the year.

Nope we are about making beer. No one drinks here. Sometimes we have to taste, but other than that, not so much.

at least. what with all the flavored vodka and flavored malt beverages, who needs more than a case or two a year. i mean, all those empty beer calories aren't good for you anyway.

oh cr@p, i have a beer buzz, i should go walk it off so i don't get into bed with a full stomach, wouldn't want to not fit into my jeans tomorrow.

 

[iaefebs]

Lets see... I drink 2.9 beers a day... the wife drinks 2.9 beers a day times 12 oz = 69.6 oz a day between us... times that by 365 days a year = 25,404oz. divide that by 128 oz in a gallon and I guess we drink between the both of us 198.46 Gallons a year... I give 1 1/2 gallons away each year so that puts me at 200 gallon a year.

Good thing you are keeping an eye on yourself. I don't think they sell new pants anymore either. I'm busy skinning a newborn unicorn for my next pair that I outgrew.

You my Friend are perfectly legal. Wow, less than half a gallon to spare! Have an extra beer for me!:cross:
